The story about three friends growing up in South Central Los Angeles and of street life where friendship, pain, danger and love combine to form reality. The hood is a place where drive-by shootings and unemployment are rampant. But it is also a place where harmony coexists with adversity, especially for the three boys, Doughboy (Ice Cube), an ambitious drug dealer, his brother Ricky (Morris Chestnut), a college bound teenage father and Ricky’s best friend Tre (Cuba Gooding Jr.), who aspires for a brighter future beyond the hood. In a world where a trip to the store can end in death, the friends have diverse reactions to their bleak surroundings. Tre’s resolve is strengthened by his father (Laurence Fishburne) who keeps him on the right track. But the lessons Tre learns are put to the ultimate test when tragedy strikes close to home and violence seems like the only recourse.
